According to 5201-bis, the transport format type is defined as [1]:
"The TF type numbers correspond to the HIP parameter type numbers of the respective transform parameters."

Hence, the last sentence of my suggested text should rather read as follows:
"The transport format type for IPsec ESP is the type number of the ESP_TRANSFORM parameter, i.e., 4095."
